That was in one small city and back in 2015. It is not representative of Ukrainian politics. In the latest parliamentary elections in 2019, far-right antisemitic parties won only 2% of the vote.
You can find an even more recent example in Germany (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49632409), but that doesn’t mean that Germany is now an antisemitic nation.

“As commander of the Nazi-controlled, Ukrainian battalion, known as Nachtigall, Mr Shukhevych was involved in the widely-documented slaughter of Jews in Lvov (now Lviv) in 1941, as well as massacres of Jews in the vicinity of Vinnytsia. Another of his military units, the UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army), was said to have massacred 100,000 Poles. He was also deputy commander of the 201st Schutzmannschaft Battalion, responsible for slaughters in Belarus.”

Israel condemns the Ukrainian nationalists for staging a torchlight procession in Kiev honoring Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera on Saturday, the Israeli embassy said in a statement on Saturday.
“Israel condemns the nationalist march in honor of Stepan Bandera. Any attempt to glorify those who supported Nazi ideology defiles the memory of Holocaust victims in Ukraine. We are demanding thorough investigation of the antisemitic manifestations that took place during the march in accordance with the law adopted in Ukraine in 2021,” the statement reads.
Earlier on Saturday, Kiev and a number of regions of Ukraine saw torchlight marches timed for an anniversary of Bandera’s birth. In Kiev, the demonstrators marched along the city’s main streets to a point very close to the office of President Vladimir Zelensky.
The Ukrainian police said that an estimated 3,500 people had taken part in the Bandera marches and no violations of law and order occurred.

Edmonton's statue of Roman Shukhevych, an infamous Ukrainian Nazi collaborator, has once again been defaced with red paint. This time, a second local monument—a memorial honouring the 14th Waffen SS Division—was targeted as well.
An unknown person or persons painted the words "Nazi monument" and "14th Waffen SS" on the latter monument, which is housed at the St. Michael's cemetary on the north side of the city. Shukhevych's statue was painted with the words "actual Nazi."
The Polish Institute of National Remembrance’s investigation into the anti-Polish campaign is unequivocal about its result: a brutal massacre.
“The crime was committed by the 4th battalion of the 14th division on February 28. On that day, early in the morning, soldiers of this division, dressed in white, masking outfits, surrounded the village. The village was cross-fired by artillery. SS-men of the 14th Division of the SS “Galizien” entered the village, shooting the civilians rounded up at a church. The civilians, mostly women and children, were divided and locked in barns that were set on fire. Those who tried to run away were killed. Witnesses interrogated by the prosecutors of the Head Commission described the morbid details of the act. The crime was committed against women, children, and newborn babies,” investigators wrote.
These monuments are in Edmonton because many veterans of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and the 14th Waffen SS Division migrated to Canada a few years after the war. Many in the organized Ukrainian community regard them as heroes,” explained Himka.
When the Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex, who maintain the Shukhevych statue, were contacted about the statue being defaced they replied by referencing a statement they provided to the Progress Report in July, 2020 on the matter, asserting that their position had not changed.
In that statement they denied that Shukhevych had committed war crimes, claiming the evidence of this was fabricated by the KGB. They referenced his “heroic” leadership of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army against Nazi and Soviet rule and that he died in battle against Soviet operatives in 1950.
Please give up this propaganda line of Ukrainian nationalists = Banderists = Nazis, therefore all Ukrainian nationalists are Nazis. It’s infantile.
It is clearly entrenched in their culture. I have sooo much more.
If you think all of these govt institutions supporting Nazis is not enough to show their culture, I have a bridge to sell you.
And you have a very very closed mind.
All of the links/posts I have sent you with a rare exception are city councils, the govt of Ukraine, and other govt agencies.
Not running for office means nothing.
Looking at what the county and cities are supporting is far more telling.
I have lots more.
There is 150% no doubt that throughout western Ukraine, Bandera was worshipped and promoted and his Nazi buddies in the SS were glorified by having streets, stadiums, etc named after them.
But this doesn’t convince you of anything.
Most of the money we are spending “on Ukraine” is spent in the US. There is no open checkbook. Stopping the Russian-Iranian-Chinese alliance is in our interest
That would explain why we abandoned $85,000,000,000 of materiel in Afghanistan in the middle of the night so the Afghans could sell it to them.
